The concept originated in the mid 1960’s; to turn the Salt River bed running along Tempe’s northern edge, into a spectacular amenity. On June 2, 1999 water began flowing into the town lake after two years of construction. The inflatable rubber dams at either end of the lake allow it to function as a floodway when it needs to (the dams deflate to allow water to run through the lakebed). A wonder of modern engineering and an inarguable success story of urban planning, the Town Lake continues to be one of Arizona’s biggest tourist destinations. Simply hop in your car, or even walk from your rental home to the Lake. Map
Completed as an integral part of the Town Lake parks plan, the Beach Park is home to countless events throughout the year ranging from the JDRF Walk, Ironman, Concerts, Festivals including the ‘Way Out West’ Oktoberfest, New Years Eve Fireworks and Fiesta Bowl Block Party (past performances include Sugar Ray, Blues Traveler and Third Eye Blind).
